Hi,
I am trying to upgrade some software that requires the following 3 Windows Features:
• Remote Desktop Services (Remote-Desktop-Services)
• Windows Media Foundation (ServerMediaFoundation)
• Application Server (AppServer)
The version of the software currently installed also requires the above features and those features are already installed and enabled (
Looking at the log file of the installer, it executes the following command:
After working this out, rather than execute the upgrade installer, I am simply executing the DISM commands directly into an administrative command prompt. And to break it down even further, I am executing the DISM commands individually for each feature.
Each install attempt for each feature has a new CBS log and install log to make it easier to review.
I started with RDS, i.e.
I actually had a win with the RDS feature. Without specifying a source, the CBS log show this:
This error is repeated for a number of DLLs.
I managed to get Remote Desktop Services dism command to succeed by adding the latest Servicing Stack and CU (matching the CU of the machine I am working on) to a stock install.wim. I simply added the install.wim:4 (datacenter edition) as a source to the dism command and it succeeded.
The AppServer DISM command executed without issue, no source required.
Unfortunately, this is where the success stops. I cannot get Windows Media Foundation installed. I have tried many different install.wim as source and none have helped.
I have included the log files, 2 for each feature except for AppSever (with and without source).
I have googled and googled and tried many different things. Most of the responses on social.technet (inc. those who logged tickets with MS) results in a repiar or rebuild (my very very last options) and even MS unable to help. IN saying that I do also have the option of logging a support ticket with MS.
This forum seems to the king of fixing these sorts of issues. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

dism /online /Get-Features). My guess is the upgrade process needs to ensure those features are installed.Looking at the log file of the installer, it executes the following command:
